to those of you very familiar with the city

I know that people on the nyc forum actually live in the city, or have visited so many times you know it like the back of your hand. you know how to navigate from neighborhood to neighborhood and see things ';in order'; so to speak, you know what restaurants are your favorites, and you know where to shop etc.

so what im asking is, if you could make an itinerary, as detailed as you want it to be, for a 4 day trip, what or where would you tell someone to see/do/eat/shop?

if you were to be a ';tourist'; in your own town what are the best things to do, during the day, as well as at night? i%26#39;d like to know shows, restaurants, the neighborhoods with the best shopping, the best times to go to places, anything.

This is a difficult question to answer as we need to know more about you. New York is a different city to different people. For example, an artist might want to take in the MET, MOMA, Whitney and Galleries in Chelsea and DUMBO. A person who likes urban landscaping would gravitate to Central and Prospect Parks, Wave Hill and the Cloisters. Foodies would have a different tour centered on farmers markets and restaurants. Shoppers would head to any number of stores depending on their tastes, budget and needs.

New York has so many different neighborhoods, that speak to us all differently. Let us know what you like to do, and we will be in a better position to help you.
